  Nice to be back!

  2010-09-01
  We are back in Crans-Montana. I've got great memories from here. Pontus and Pierre are back and it feels like everybody loves this place. It's hard to not love it when it looks like this:
  
   
  
   
  Got in a good practice round yesterday with Todd Hamilton, former Open Champion. He's such a nice guy. Gave me a good tips on a low shot without spin. More club and grip down. Pretty basic but I just have a hard time to grip down on the shaft. Don't know why. But, I'll work on it. Todd is playing a few tournaments in a row over on the European Tour now. Nice to have him here!
  
  
  
  4th tee shot needs a nice little glider to the right.
  
  
  
  
   Pro-Am at 12.35 sharp:) Little bit of training. But first I got to make sure I got some clean stuff to wear. Wonder if you can just put the whole bag in the washing machine.

  Spotting.

  2010-08-30
  Saw so much cool stuff today in Geneva. Stayed at a hotel called "The Reserve". 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Different and cool.
  
  Maserati MC-12. Not so often you see those. Gorgeous.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Gym time.
  
  
  
  And off course my new passion. Tennis. Still crap at it but it's so much fun.
  
  
  
  Got a good tips here on how to use the road bike on the balcony. A "must have" it looks like. 
  
  
  
  After train and car we finally made it up to Crans-Montana. Freezing up here. Weather forecast is +1 degree celsius tomorrow so hard gym in the morning with Pierre and play when it's warmer. If it gets warmer. Fingers crossed. I have good memories of this place since last year. Will be nice to hit the course tomorrow.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This is not taken from the Viking Line boat. I promise. Moi Mikko!

  Geneva.

  2010-08-30
  Finland was super super great! A lot of good finish players gathers to practice at Kytäjä so we got a great games and practice sessions. Thanks guys!!!
  
  Headed over to Geneva to meet up with a friend and play golf. Imperial Golf Club yesterday. Seriously nice woodland course and shot 6 under on the back so it feels better and better.
  
  Spotted this car yesterday...  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I think it's a Ferrari California from the 60's. Looks awesome in any case.
  
  The course looked awesome yesterdya as well.
  
  
  
  
  
  And the sky.
  
  
  
  My three weeks vacation is now over and Omega European Masters is on the schedule and heading up there tonight. 
  
  Two more tournaments after that in Amsterdam and Austria. 
  
  Oscar Floren won on the Challenge Tour and Peter Hanson is in the freakin RYDER CUP!!! How cool is that!!! Good job guys!!!

  Match time.

  2010-08-27
  Great day again in Soumi!
  
  2.00 PM was the time for me and Mikko to battle out one last time before heading to Switzerland. We were very eaven going into the final round (maybe Mikko was a little ahead). We played at Kytäjä and the course is seriously good. I liked every hole. That doesn't happen all the time. 
  
  We started out great. Probably our best start ever. After 6 holes, I was 6 under and Mikko was 5 under. Mikko kept it up from there and shot a 8 under total and beat me by 2 up in the match. Mikko is the champ and he played great so it's all good. Rematch at the Omega Masters next week. 
  
  Me and Mika, alias Huuli, got beaten as a team too today against Mikko Ilonen and his teammate Teemu Selänne.
  
  
  
  Can't believe I'm smiling after a loss...
  
  Last day of training in Finland tomorrow. I'm gonna give it all.
  
  Moi moi.
